8 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDA Y, OCTOBER 18, 1872. - s TEMPERANCE. Further Agitzifion of the Liguor Questiom. A Meeting in Favor of Clos- ing Saloons on Sun- % day. : Remarks by Dr. Bavis, Senator Wood- ard, and Gikers, A meeting was held, last evening, in Centenary 3. E. Church, West Monroe sireet, under the - auspices of the Temperance Bureau. The at- ' tendance was tolerably large. Ar. Philip Mycrs nominated General O.L. Mann as Chairman, and he was elected. The Rev. Dr. Beecher in- voked the Divine blessing. Mr. Iyers was made Becretary.” General Mann said that at the previons meet- ing, held in the Board of Trade Hall, a Commit- - tee was appointed to wait upon the Mayor and other city officials, to request the closing of sa- loons on the Sabbath. The result was known Tioall MR. MYERS * said that two committees were appointed, one of fifteen, to wait upon the Meyor and city officials, and ome of five, to gather statistics. Dr. - Evarts, Chairman of the fifteen, was out of the city, but the action of the Committee was published in the newspapers. Dr. N. 8. Davis, Chairman of the Committes of Five, would . probably submit o report. DR. DAVIS regretted the absence of Dr. Evarts, who could have given a more explicit account-of the inter- -views than wes published in tho pspers. The fist interview brought from the Moy- or _the aunouncement, that the anthori- ies could not, with the force at their command, enforce thelaws. Itwas asad and discouraging announcement to him, as nineteen- - twentieths of the po)iuhfian believed it would be better for the people if the law could be en- forced.. It was said that there were more voters opposed to the law than in favorof it. The number of voters, of course, depended on the number congregated in the grog-shops. The Board of Polce displeyed courage. ‘They said they could enforce the law. The Mayor, hon- estly falilling Lis duty, though doubting his zbility to accomplish the end sought, gave the mecessary order, and now the law was to be . made effective. All good citizens should aid and assist the anthorities. The 2,000 dram- shops in the city should be _compelled ‘to obey the law. The evils of dram-shops were enumerated. They should be shut on_Sunday. If ell the laws, regulating the sale of intoxicat. ing liquors were inforced, crime in the city “would be diminished 100 per_cent. Twenty-five years ago a gentleman visited all the prisons and poorhouses in the State of New York, and found that four-fifths of the prisoners, and .three-fourths of the paupers were made such by intemperance. That was a quarter of o century ago. euyea:s:fio, Dr. Elishs Hains found that +80 per cent of the criminals in the New York ‘houses of correction” were made criminals by drink. In 1871 there were 26,448 police nr- rests in the City of Chicago, of which 18- 767 were charged with having been drunk or dis- orderly, or having committed assaults,—all, “of course, being the direct result of intoxicating Jiquor. The President of the Board of Polico in Chicago said that nine-tenths of the crime in ‘the city was the effeét of the same cause. Mr, Reed, the State’s Attorney, said officielly that if 1he saloons were closed on Sunday, leaving them “to do all the mischief they could during the “week, the business of the Criminal Court would be reduced two-thirds. Of one hundred mur- ders and manslaughtars committed in Chicago during the last seven years, ninety were commit- ted Ly men whose minds were deranged by liquor. Of 2,000 females in hospital in Black- wells Island, over 1,400 were reduced to prostitution by having dronken fathers or mothers, or both. In this city would be found the same proportion, and it was true that male licentiousness was in a great degree committed while the passions were stimulated by liquor. Persistent, steady work wonld en- sure the enforcement of the law and prevent wen from being elain in the streets every Sun- day. They shoald vote only formen who would maintain public virtue, and thereby preserve the country. There wasno necessity for thousands of Jmlicemsu to be scattered all over the city in order thst the law mignt be respected. All the Mayor had to do was to sit in his office and re- woke licenses when the law was violated. [Ap- planse.] They should be careful when voting for members of the Legislature not to vote for any candidate ~of either & v, whether for the Senate or the House of epresentatives, who would in any way distarb the present law, except to make it more strin- gent. [App].nusa.gr the candidates wera nominated in the dram-shops, and were utterly unworthy of confidence or respect. Some more of these gentlemen were dodfiing the question, trying to ride two horses. They were not to be trusted. _The liquor-dealers, with their money, were working to elect their own tools. The good people of the city ahould beall on the other side. [Applanse.] BENATOR WOODWARD thonght they should have begun' befors, and Jhaye taken care that responsible bondsmen went ail for the saloons. The Mayor should issue e proclamation closing the saloons on Bunday. He chould mount the horse of law and order, ond stick on. He would ride triumphantly through. Hesaid he hed not force emough. Let him elose the saloons. Every saloon he cloged would be equivalent to increasing the police. He had money at his command. The Germans as a body were in favor of ihe law, and were faw-sbiding. Even the saloon-keepers were not unanimous in opposing the law. It was a foew politicians who, for their own ends, kept up the opposition. He was afraid the Mayor was rather §avorable to them, and was forgetting the Chris- tian people of the city. TEE BEV. MR. GOCDWIN thought the Mayor was honest in purpose and fntentions, but he shonld have the sentiment of istjan people at his back. The Superin- tendent of Police perhaps wanted to know if the Christian people remembered him in théir prayers and in their closets, as he went forth to perform his duty. The Police Commissioners would probably issue their order this week. They were works for the entire West, and outlying cities, as Cincinnati and St. Louis, would take courage snd follow the éxample of (Jhienga. - 2B, BONNEY wes asked the other day how Charley Reed stood on that subject. _He did not exactly know, but if Charley Reed faltered, if ho refused to enforce the Sunday law, and every other law, it would kill him. Captain Tuttle, ex-Superintendent of Folice, told him that no increase in the police force was necessary to enforce ‘the Sunday laws, ‘but an increase of moral courege was indispens- sble. When some dsy they put -forward a fiving embodiment of temperance, morality, religion, anc virtuo, for Mayor, he would get a ‘majority of five thonsand. - If they had & candi- date for Governor on & religious platform, they would &lect him, and astonish and pleage the world. ' [Applause.] IME. MICHAEL M'AULEY meade & witty and telling speech. He stated that the Irish people were in favor of executing the law. He wished to have it executed, inde- pendent of politics. He wasno politician. He would never run for office until he ranona temperanco ticket, and then he expected to run like wildfire. The en in the Legis- latare, reflecting truly the sentiments of their - countrymen, - voted for the laws, and the Hon. A. L. DMomison was an ploguent exponent of |the principles of temper- ance. He hoped that any Irishman who was a candidate for the Legislature would, if elected, be on the side of morality and vote and work to enstain the law, if it should be assailed: [Ae- plause.] MR. 3. C.EELLY £ offered & long series of resolutions providing that the Committee of Fifteen and such mem- bers of the Committee of Twenty-Five appoint- ed by the rmass meeting opposed to murder, s favored the movement, and the Committee of Seventy for tho enforcement of the now luw, form themselves intoa Central Committee to nominate candidates for office who would sup- port the law. B e The resolutions were Iaid over until the next ‘meeting. 3[R. THOMAS MOULDING offered the following : i Whereas, This mesting heving met to consider {ho causesand preveution of erime, believes that the en- forvement of the law closing the salcons on the Bab- bath day will decreago crime very materially in our city ; tharefore, 5 Resolved, That we believe our Police Ccmmissioners acted in good faith in asking the Common Council to ¥a38 a0 ordinance closing saloons at 11 o'clock every night ; they have our thonks, and we earnestly urge {he Common Council to pass said ordinance, Adopted. offered the following : % Rewlred, Tizt this meeting tenders its heartfely thanks to Mayor Medill and ths police autborities for tho sssurunce and orders already given for the cn- foraement of the Sunday lawe, and wo pledge them our hearty eupport. . Adopted ; adjourned. AYERS A SUIT COMMENCED. The Temperance Bureau has instituted pro- ceedings in the Circuit Court against Petor Al mendinger, tho keeper of a saloon on tho North Side, cluiming §10.000 damagos on belalf of the widow and seven clildren, all minors, of John Conkling, who, it is alle adl came to. bLis death in August Jasi from the efleets of beer drank in the saloon. It appears that Conkling, o leborar, was working in 5 building in the vieinity of Almendinger's, and was iu tho habit of drinking thero. On the day of lis deatl, Conkling, during dinner hour, drauk, it is alleged, nino glasses of beer sold him by Almendinger or Lis egents. He went to work after dinner, mounted a scaffold, fell there- from, and was Lilled. Hence the suit. The widow and children are not residents of this State,but the Temperance Bureau have complied with the law by giving bonds for the costs, and the case will very probebly go to trial. ARCHITECTURAL. Annual Meeting of the Chicago Chap- ter of American Institute of Architects, Interesting and Important Address by the President, W. W. Boying- ton, Esq. g Election of Oflicers. The annuel meeting of the Chicago Chapter of the American Instifvte of Architects was held last evening at the ofiice of Messrs, Carter, Drake & White, No. 21 Tast Van Buren street. It was attended by Mesars. Boyington, Cochran, Drake, White, Willett, and Miller. The follow- ing address was read by PRESIDENT BOSINGTON : GESTLEMEX OF THE CHICAGO CHAPTER OF THE AsERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS: This our am- nual meeiing is fraught with more than ordinary in- terest to our profession in this city. One far ago the principal portion of oaur city was but 4 blackened, emoking area of ruin, We felt 3 pride in boasting to our Eastern ond_Southern friends that, for the age of our city, we could show them finer buildings in an architectural point of view than any other cify on this Continent. I was among those that believed this to bo troe, To Lo sure there were some oneand two-story framed buildings interspersed on tlio principal streets, But we bad very many notable business blocks and ‘public buildings, and were adding more elegant build- ings cvery season. But what was then our pride and boast proved to be but of afew hours Guration yhen the devouring ele- ment once got theswas. It swaptawny tho monu- ments thut some of us architocts fondly looked upon as gems that would live long _ after our frail tenements had_mouldered to dust, and the places that kmew us would have along ago forgotten us, except for the fow names that were engraved onsome of the corner stones of the principal buildings. But the over-ruling hand of Providence directed otherwise, and_ obliterated everyiling in architecture that Lad given character to old Chicago, admonishing usto putno trust mpon things of ourown crestion which can thus perish in an hour. Nothing ever had such an effect to suggest to me the frailty and uncertainty of everything_earthly as did the great Chicago fire. From the fire, I trust, the world has drawn many beneficial lessons, Thus, in our trial, othera as well as ourselves may have been greatly benefitted, It has been said by a reverend gentleman that “ Chi- eago was planted by Providence, tnd dosigned for & great metropolis, 1t would seem that in the destruction of the city, most of what was necessary for the conmstruction of the city had providentially been saved, viz.: Our principal building iron foundries, our door, sash, and Dlind factories, planing mills, brick-yards, warehouses, and storage for grain ; our packing-liouses, ete. Al of which were immediitely put into active operation for tho supply of building material, and the support of the teeming laborers and destituto mulfitudo that was required to rebuild the We also had in full operation 10,000 miles of railroad, tly tributary to the rebuilding, in addition to the . and ‘with their facilities for landing cargoes of .umber, stone, brick, lime, and cement_directly upon our docks, 'And, what i8 more, the capital and sympathies of the whole conntry were proffered to us, and poured in npon us, Apd will you Jlet me hers briefly char- ‘erize the ~ splendid relief chavities show- -ed upon us by the oufside world astheact of the man Who says to his burned-out neighbor, “Go on with your rebuilding, I will take care of your wife and children.” It wes, practieally, of immense value, both in_the time and egse of our Testoration, that our stricken community was so ‘promptly and nobly relieved from the more pressing immediate demands of fire sufferers, Now, gentlemen, with all these facts boforo us, what have we architects’ done toward rebuilding the city? ‘Allow me to say, and excuse me for making the boast- ful remark, that we stand with no parallel in history in the amotnt of work performed, and in the quality and_architectural stylo of our’ restored buildings, No city in the history of the world, and no number of architécte, in the eame length of time, ever accom- plished o' much, and on £0_grand a scale, sg we huve one in the space of one year. Every architect that has participated in any considerable degree in the Teconstruction of the city will feel gratified, aside from business benefits, that he was foriunate enough to participate in 80 great a work, The opportunity for improvement not only in the construction of the buildings nnder our own charge, but in observing the ways of others, has no parallcl. Young men, students in _architecture, have had an occasion for learning more during the year, on the subject of construction, than most architects hate during e lifetime of practice. The immensity of the building construction in hand by some of the leading architects, and architectural firms, taking into ncconnt the superiority of the de- Eigns’ produced and detailed in so sliort s time, 8hows to my mind that we have among us men of mo- ture architectural judgment and ability scarcely to be found in any cify; which makes me moro than ever prond to be' classéd among 50 noble a bund of fellow- artisens, Many of these gentlemen do not belong to our Chapter, We should put forward every encouragement for them to joinus, We must each of us_exert ourselves to guin their co-operation aud association. 17 our Chapter is properly conducted, it cannot fail torgive all who belong to it increated welght of charac- er. It shonld be our.aim to benefit each other, and culti- vate a friendly fecling smong our entire guild. In rebuilding the city, we haveall been aroused to sction sufiicient to meet what seemed at first-almost insurmountable obstacles. Full unity of action by the profession, commencing & ear ago, would have proved of great asistance to each other, and beneficial to our patrons, Free intercourse and consultation among or- chitects' would prove of grest advantage to all con- cerned, and help to establish a frank and honorable Dearing towards each other, which, I am sorry to say, does not now universally exist in’ our profesaion, 1 am satisfied that the co-operation in joining the Chap- ter, and frequently meeting to consult upon matters of general professional interest, would tend to elovate our BFt, and frown down the oceusional acts which refiect 0o honor upon the practico of some of the profession, Consequently, every encouragement should be given to secure new membrs. In order to carry out the advantages of our institution, we require an increage of num that will contribute to our influence. We should, at sn early day, establish & library and readirig room, Which should be not only free £o the members of e Chapter, but to their apprentices and draughtsmen, e need that our young men shall mors fully and technically understand what they practice in the office, In order to do this, we should sécure experimental lec- turesupon the principles of constrution. To guin this result, individual action is required. If we estab- lish full efficiency 88 a branch of the American Insti- tuteof Architects, our professionwill be more highly esteemed by the community. - Weshould apply. our infiuence, with singleness of purpose, to bring about so honorablean object. Ina great and growing city ke our own, ample’ facilities for the extension and development of our cone tinua to be offered year by year, and every Chicago archilect of standing can need no better epitaph than that of Christopher Wren, “If you seekmy monument, Took about yout. ” ELECTION OF OFFICERS. On motion, the thanks of the Chapter were tendered the President for his address. The following officers were then elected: President—W. W, Boyington. ¥ Vice President—J. C. Cochrane, Secrctary—C, C, Miller, Treasurer—P. B, Wight. Committee on_Admissions—Dessra, Drake, Thomes, Toring, and Cochrane. A vote of thanks was tendered the Cineinnati Chapter for the photographs of its members. _ r. Wight moved that the Chicago delegation to the sixth annual Convention of Architects, to be held at Cincinnati on the second Tuesday in November, be authorized to invite the members thore present to visit the city of Chicago on the adjournment of the Convention, and review tho work of rebuilding. The motion prevailed, and the mecting ad- journed. Fa:al Accidents. CrevErax, 0., Oct. 17.—A young man named James H. Catlin was instantly killed this fore- noon, 2t tho Court Hauee, by fulling over the stairrailings to the basement, a distance of forty foet. George W. Neaskern, residing at 206 Case avenus, was accidentally poisoned this forenoon by his wife, who administered oxolic acid, mis- taking it for Epsom salts. BRICK BY THE MiLLION, A New Source of Sufipl& of Building Material. The Works of the Excelsior Pressed Brick Manufacturing Come pany. Inspection of the Establishment By a Large Excursion Party. A large excnsion party of gentlemen left the Central Depot yesterday forenoon, to visit the works of the Exceleior Preased Brick Manufac- turing Company of Chicago, situated at Gregg Station, about 18 miles from the city, on the Chicago, Barlington & Quincy Railroad. In- cluded in the party wero tho Philadelphia brick men who had mado a trip to Chicago for the purpose of seeing the city in general, and of in. epecting the new brick factory, in which they are all more or less interested. Besides Bignor Antonio Florio, Minister from Equador, and Signor Francis Gonzales, Ilinister from Chili, who had also joined the company from the Queker City, were Colonel Thomas A. Scott, the great railway magnate, Thomas A. Biddle, Wm. RJLejeo, Edward Shippen, J. B. Lippincott, M. J, Mitchelson, Theodore Megargee, . J. Matthews, Mr. Wheelan, Dr. Malin, Francis McMurtrie, R. D. Coxe, Major O. G. Robinson, E. W. Shippen, D. L. Gege, W. B. Robbins, T. F. Scat- tergood, Dr. Sherwood, Mr. Watson, P. J. Pot~ ter, Addison Hutton, G eo. Lochman, F. P. Ad- dicks, B. Pottor, A. Browning, E. Tracy, 5. H. Rotherwell, Jacob Thomas, Geo. Brower, A.P, Shannon, T, W. Egan, R. Ii. Peterson, Jr., and A.T. Fither—all of Philadeiphia. OFf Chicago men the architects were immensély represented, among them J. C. Cochrane, W. W. Bogn on, A. Batter, E. 8. Jaffray, A. J. Kinnrfi', .D.C. Cleyeland, J. R. Neff, G. R. Clarke, ¥. W. Cope- land, E. S, Jonnison, Maas & Koneman, Mer- riam & Street, and_others. The Board of Pub- lic Works was ont in full force, Commissioners Carter, Prindivillo and Thompson, feeling & lively ‘interest in the brick supply, besides rather enjoying the idea of a plensant run out of town for a day. In the same category might be included Dr. Rauch, of the Board of Health, S. B, Cobb, George DI Kim- bark, M. P. Becclior, E. P. Watkins, Daniel Worthington, W. L. Peck, J. Whitohodd, Theo- dore F. Brown, Captain J. 8. Hodson, W. W. Chandler, R. C. Meldrum, Biddle Roberts, E. R. Wadsworth, Loslie Bradoer, W. H. B. Hurd, O, J. Stough, H. M. Smith, and & large number of other well-lmown citizens. oA Tour extra cars were required for their trans- portation to Gregg Station, where they arrived in due time, and at once proceeded to inspect the sbrick factory, which is situated immediatel ‘south of the railrond track, huving a side-track running past the kilns. The Excclsior Brick Company own 80 acres of land uf this_point, for which they paid $175 per acre, and which isnow held at $350 per acre. Hore thoy have developed a practically ineshaustible deposit of a superior clay, which extends down to a depth of 60 feet, and here they have recently put in oRemfion two of Wm. L. Gregg's Excelsior PErick Machines, the first in nse west of the Alleghanies, though they havcbeen worked for over four years in iladelphia. Several substantinl frame struc- tures have been erected for the brick machines, engine house, drying, sanding, and packing rooms, blacksmith shop, clay storehouse, ctc., the works covering an area of sbout one acre, exclusive of the ground occupied by the kilns. A brief sketch of the enterprise, its projector, 2nd its claims and prospects will not be withont interest to the people of Chicago, to whom, jnst nor, the question of cheap and durable brick is of pecaliar importance. Mr. Gregg, the inventor .of the Excelsior Pressed Brick Machino, has spent twenty years and several fortunes in bringing his patent to perfection, and las, it isbelieved, fully demonstraied ihe uscleseness of attempting tomake serviceable brick from clay. His machine works the clay s nature moistens it, taking it divectly from the bank to the machine, which ‘accompliches its own }n'ep- aration, and does it well, if the quality of the production may be taken as a criterion.” During the process of manufacture, the cloy receives three distinct pressures, equal to S0 tons upon each brick, which is thus rendered estremecly compact, weighing 20 per cent more than ordi~ pary brick of the same size, and, of course, renders the wall stronger, Letvior, and_capable of sustaining greater weight and strain. The ‘brick are larger than the average madein Chicago, and in uniformity of shape, perfect angles,and fine face, will compare favoral lg with the manu- factures of Philadelphia and Baltimore. Even the common bricks do not fzil in these qualities. Bcientific civil engineers in Philadelphia have pronounced them the strongest, best, and most serviceable brick for public worlm, such as cul- verts, sewers, arches, &c., and have said that in the matter of dumpage alone there is & saving of at Jeast 50 cents per thousand in comparison with home-mad¢ brick, Sixty millions of these brick have been made in Philadelphin, where the two Grogg machines were unable to supply the demand. The two machines now in operation at Gregg Station are capable of producing 70,000 brick d};er day of ten hours, as by the use of Caldwell's dry- ing process tho brick are dried as fast a8 they come from the machine, from which ~ the; are delivered on tram- wags to the drying tunnels, in which the *‘smoke- water " is wholly evaporated, and the bricks are then shoved along by the sumo apparatus through the drying tunnels of .tho_ kiln, being handled but once previous to burning. 'A great feature of the establishment consists in the fact that brick may be made throughout the winter months, whix Lend-making yards have already closed for the season. Clay sufficient for several millions of brick is now under cover against the time when freezing weather ghall put & stop to out-door work. For the entire working of two machines, including the supply of clay, placing in the kilns, loading upon the cars, etc., forty- four men and boys are requircd. = One month ago all thege operatives were utterly unskilled in the business, but they are rapidly ncrflmrmg groflclenny, and the quality of the rick is constantly improving in conse- quence. It is intended soon to work the ma- chines night and day, when their total capacity will be increased to 140,000 brick per day. With these immense resources the. Company can fill contracts without fail at all seasons of the year, and when it is remembered that it costs 330 per ton freight on pressed brick shipped from Phil- adelphia, the builders of Chicago can form some ides of the advantages which may be derived from the new manufactory at Gregg Station. The smooth finish, fine grain, and perfect an- gles of tho best quality of thé pressed brick for fronts tell their own story, but it is well to state that the various architects in yesterday's party, after heving made o thorough™ examination of the bricks, both common and front, held & con- sultation together, and unhesitatingly gave it a8 their opinion that, for strength in the wall, and c?abimy of resisting pressuro_and - strain, the Excelsior-made brick are far superior to the hand-made brick in_ Chicago. Another +vast advantage is found in the fact that brick may be delivered on the C., B. & Q. Railroad to 2lmost any part of the city, as the road crosses the entire West Division, the business portion of the Sonth Division, and Iands in ight close to the boundary of the North Di g?e saving of expense in cartage is aconsiderable item. After the large party had looked through the works to their perfect satisfaction, they were in capital condition to_sppreciate the thonghtfal provision of a bountiful collation in readiness in one of the sanding-rooms. After the solids had been discussed, the corks began to fly, and the general good fecling soon found vent in the organization of a msat;ini,I Mr., E. P. Watking boing called to the chair. Messrs. Hurd, Worth- ington, Kimbark, Peck, Browd, and Cobb, were appointed & Committes on Resolutions, and re- ported the following, whieh were adopted with ‘great unanimity: Resolved, That we desire to do more than fo ex- ‘press our sense of appreciation of the courtesies we have cnjoyed on the present occasion. Resolted, That we recognize, and cannot 00 strong- 1y characterize, the value and importance to Chicago of such enterprises as that we have this doy had the opportunity of examining, Resolved, That in the new establishment of the Ex- celsior Preseed Brick Manufacturing Company of Chi- cago we Lave secn splendid result of energy, skill, and capital combined, Resolved, That in the rebuilding7and future growih of Chicago, therois no agency of more general and practical valuo than the production of brick, in in- creased amount, at a cost that shall further their gen- cral cdoption as o building materinl in all parts of the city. Jtcsolved, Thut in extent of premiscs, perfoction of machiners, and facility with which the bricks are ‘made, and the uniform quality of product fhereby se- cared, the Excolsior brick, from the exhibition of to- day, and the trado and business facts in possession of the ‘public, must take . prominent place in the pro- ducts of Ghicago menufacturing industry. Then there were a few informal speeches of a cordial, pleasant character, the Philadelphiang “out-Chicagoing Chicago™ in their glowing ex- preseions of admiration and wonder at the extra- ordinary progress they had noted in the burnt- out city. Inrespone to loud demands for Mr. Gregg, that gentleman modestly, but neatly and feelingly, oxpressed his warm acknowledgments of the nssistance extended to him by the strong men of the West, in pushing forward the enter- Eme to its present successful condition. After hearty cheers' for the Excelsior Brick Machine, its inventor, and the guests from Philadelphia, the party adjourned, and took the train back ta the city. Tho genial Quakers left Isst night, at 9 o'clock, on their special train, for their homes in the Cityof Brotherly Love, carrying with them plensant recollcctions of Chicago in gen- eral, and the Garduer House in particular, THE CITY IN BRIEF. Not Indicted. It will be remembered that TEE TRIBTNE & day or two since contained an announcement that the Temperance Bureau had been hard ot work collecting names of snloon keepers who violated the - State Sunday law, and procuring ovidence against them. Their labors resulted in the collection of eighty delinquents, against whom evidence was procured. These names were handed in to the Grand Jury, and the evi- denco against them duly examined. The Grand Jury havo failed to find an indictment ngninst any one of the eighty. They state that the law was passed in 1845, and has been a dead letter for the past quarter of & century, and thet they ‘were unvwilling to indict saloon keepers under it ulnm the latter had received public notice to cloge. Academy of Design. At 8 meeting of the Council of the Chicago Academy of Design, held yesterday, to consider the rental of L. W. YVolk’s building, corner of Michigan avenue and Van Buren street, the sub- ject matter was referred to & Committee of five, consisting of Messrs, Biawer, Cochrane, Elkins, Peck, and Spread. After the Council adjourn- ed, the Committeo met in the office of Cochrane & Miller, and decided to rent Mr. Voll’s build~ ing for a term. of years, with certain provisions. Their report will be présented to the Council on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A Sub-Commit- tee, consisting of Messrs. Cochrane, Brawer, and Pecls, was appointed to revise the plnns 80 28 to suit the wants of tho Academy. The puilding, as proposed, will be well adapted to the wants of the Academy, and will be an ornament to the city. It is intended to have the building ready for occupancy within three months. Liberal Mnss Meeting This Evening. A Liberal out-dour mass meeting will be held at the corner of Peoria and Adams streets this evening, at 7:30 o'clock. The Hon, Thomas J. Turner, General Stiles, and other speakersare engaged to e present, and a band of music will be in attendance. Everything. The Board of Public Works held no meeting yesterdai afternoon. They iwere inspecting a Dew brick machine in the country. The buildings on tho lake front are melting away like snow banks in June. The city is shalking its apron. Hon. J. B. Doolittle will speak at Central Hall, corner of Wabash avenuo and Twenty- second strest, thig evening, in answer to Sena- tor Morton, of Indiana. The meeting announced for this evening, at South Side Headquarters, No. 45%¢ Wabash avenue, is postponed to Saturday evening of thia weok, in consequenco of Senator Doolittle's speaking on the South Side this evening. illiam Judd, Georgo B.

"It is owned by Bigler & Bro., and occupied by Mrs. Brown as o boarding house, Both parties are gtlxily insured. An alarm was sounded from Box The announcement in yesterday's TRIDUNE that Mr. Gilbert Dutcher had’ leaged the new Sherman House was premature. Ho has been negotiating with General Sherman for the prop- erty, as have soveral other S'omons, but a bar- gain has not yot been close A musical treat may be expected at Grace Church, Wabash avenue, this evening, on tho oceasion of the annual meeting of tho Trustees and friends of St. Luke's Hospital.

There was, therefore, no meet- ing of the Board of Police Commirsioners yester- day, Mark Sheridan not considering himself a quorum. The body of & man was found floating in the river at the foot of Harrison street, yesterday morning, and was taken to the Morgue, where 1t was subgequently identified as that of Daniel Norton, who has been missing from his home, No. 78 Brown street, since the morning of the 12th. On the evening of that day he was seen drunk at the corner of Harrison and Clark sireets by an acquaintance, and it is supposed that he fell into the river whilein that condition. Deceased leaves a wife and several children. An inquest will be held on his remains to-day. Among the guests at the Gardner House yes- terday was Captain Grant, of England, who “has just purchased for English parties a tract of iand eleven miles square, eighty-seven thou- sand acres, in Kansas, on the line of the Kansas Pacific Reflway, two hundred and twenty-soven miles west of the Missouri River.

The result was that Clarkson and Pollock were fined $100 each, Hull and Hager were discharged ow- ing to _irregularities in tho warrants upon which they were arrested, and Peters was held for further examination. ~ This trial is but the reproduction of an old farce played many times at our Polico Courts. Such verdicts ara powerless to inspire gamblers with the proper Tespect for law. : A singular fatal accident occurred yesterds) at Stranss & Hahn's brickyard, on the 8ast ban of the Ogden Canal. On¢ of Fox & Howard's dredges employed in cleaning out the cut, broke the lieavy chain by which it was moored, and large picces of it flew in all directions.

The annual meeting of the Illinois Associafion of the Swedenborgian Churches takes place to- day, at the new church edifice, on Eighteenth street, corner of Prairie avenue. The gather- ing will comprise delegates from nine or ten churches in flga Asgodiation. The denomination is one of the oldest in this city, and its origin rTuns back to tho time when it comprised a single family—thet of Mr. Scammon, who secure canal lot for church purposes, thirty years ago, the Eraaent handsoma property of the Society, on Adams strest. Rev. J. R. Hibbard, the es- | teemed pastor, and ane of our best known clergymen, has filled the pastorate for twenty- threp years, He has just returned from a year’s tour abroad. e gy A CONCERT HALL SCENE, Tho Doorlkeeper Stabbed By o Drunken Pat- ron, Whom He Refused to Admit-—The Vic tim’s Death Anticipated. The disreputable concert hall in the basement of the southeast corner of Randolph and Canal streets was the scene of a stabbing affray, at half-past 9 o’clock, last evening, wherein' Cap-~ tain Ames,.an unemployed sailor who acts as doorkecper of the institution, was dangerounsly wounded in two places by another sailor named William Staunton. Those who witnessed the encounter between .the two men state that Staunton, who was congiderably under the influence of liquor, at- tempted to enter the hall without the customary admission, and was prevented by Ames, Staun- ton claimed’ that he had been into the show be- fore, and had not received s check when com- | ing out. He said he did not propose to pay twice, and was determined to get in whether the doorkeeper liked it or not. “Ames refused to admit and denied that he had been in the hall before that evening. Staunton then attempted to force i way inm, and 8, scuffle followed, dnrini which he drew a large jack-lmife, and plunge: the fall length of the blade twice into Ames’ body. August Webber, the ticket seller, who tried to separate the combatants, was badly ct in the hand. Ames’ injuries consist of & deep flesh wound in the left %to and an extremely dangerons stab in the left side of the abdomen. This latter wound was not probed to its fall depth by the doctor who was called in, anditis fli&cult to state what its result will be. The worst i feared, however. Ames was conveyed home to his family, at No. 506 Milwaukes ave- nue, a3 speedily a8 possible. His aseailant at- tempted to escape, but was captured on the stairs leading to the saloon by Officer McMillan, and taken to the Madison Street Station. He pretended to_be very drunk, and sssumed in- coherency when 2sked what he knew about the quarrel. ~ The kLnife with which Staunton stabbed his victim was found where he threw it in the saloon. The character of the place where the act of violence occurred is of the worst possible description. The conver- sation and appearance of the ruffians who nightly congregato about its doors, and the con- fusion and which characterizes the perform- ances, offend every decent person who passes by, and annoy respectable business men in the vi- cinity. Captain French should regulate or ere- dicate the nuisance without delay. HE STILL 'LIVES. Violent Death and Remarkable Resurrection of Chief Fire DMarshal Willlamse.-Sensa« tional Effect of a Rumor. A startling rumor, to the effect that Chief Fire Marehal Williams had met with a fatal accident while riding in his buggy on the West Side, yes- terday afternoon, created great excitement about town. The city officers were intensely worked up over the dreadful matter, and messengers were sent out to ascertain the particulars of the accident. There was no room left to doubt the correctness of the rumor, as one man was positive that ho had seen the Marshal's lifeless and mangled remains borne away on a borrowed*door, and several others were equally positive that they had met the corpse on its way to its late residence on West Adams street. General sor- row was expressed for the nnha;:;y family of decehsedi and little incidents in the lamented ‘Williams' public career, like the Great Fire,were recalled and sadly discussed by groups of sol- emn-looking citizens. A movement looking to the lowering of flags and the ‘draping of public buildings was rapidly progressiug in the City Hall, when the arrival of the . per- son to whose memory it was gotten uwp put & sudden ‘end to the performance. ~His astonishment when inform- ed of his bloody end was, strange to ssy, un- bounded, and some minutes elapsed ere he could command sufficient language to state that he was still alive and in the fi enjoyment of his usual good health. Condolement was immedi- ately supplanted by congratulation, and the drapery and half-mast business was indefinitely postponed. The rumor originated from the fact that the DMarshal gave chase to.a run- away horse and lmé;gy, which he succeeded «in slopping without damage to himself or any- body else. Quite n large crowd assembled, however, and some person, observing the Mar- shal busily engaged about & broken buggy and a {frightened horse, came to the conclusion that he had met with an accident, and told everybody he Imew that such was the case. Sensationalad- ditions were made to the story with great mpfi:ty, and the sanguinary rumor was the regult. 2 e AMUSEMENTS. M'VICKER'S THEATRE. The comedy of * Married Life,” played last evening for the first time since the fire, drew to McVicker's the largest audience of the week. The play is reclly inferior to ‘ Leap Year,” but is more familiar, and has a large constituency of admirers. The cast was a good one, everything considered, but would have been improved by the introduction of Mrs. Allen into the cast. There is no one character in *‘ Married Life” that is_of preeminent strength, but all have humsn qualities, and all are given by the sh{wn‘g t 3 reasonable amount todo All played with spirit and energy, but it was_evident from the applause that it was the forcible situations rather than the acting that told upon the audience. The play will hold the boards until the close of the week. AIEEN'S THEATRE. The Oates Troupe, at Aiken's Theatre, have had their share of the theatrical patronage of the week, although tho attendance has every- where been light. ‘ Fortunio” will be contin- ued for the remainder of the week, and will be the attraction at the matines to-morrow after- noon. —_— The Lac la Belle Disaster.

Smith Dunning, Henry Sparks, Henry Adams, second cook, and amean ani- Lknown, who was working his passage. Inspector Wm. Fitzgerald and Thomes Humes, in their statement, close as follows : * The vessel® was well built, of good material, and was sound throughout. Her boilers and machinery were in good condition and her outfit complete. She wes believed by us to be one of the staunchest steamers within our jurisdiction. She was easily Joaded, drawing 11 feet of water, with 8} feot of side above iater. The heavyses in which she labored on the night of her loss caused her to spring o leak that no human fore- sight could have previously determined, and she succnmbed to a similar influence that has cansed other staunch vessels to founder. —_——— The Catholic Convention in Philadel- phia. * Paraverenis, Oct. 17.—Tho delegates to the Irish Catholic Denevolent Union attended a complimentary concert last evening, given b; tho " Catholia Phlopatrian Literary Bttty The addresa of welcome was dolivered by J.

Throe entries were made, and the race was not intercst- ng for time. The winner could cesily have shut out the competing horses on the first heat. The rider was rg&nmlmded, and did his_duty on the I;fig%lg-. which ended the race. Time, 2:1033, —— The Lexington Races.
